To every good, dense, obsession an equally accessible introduction exists; such are the reciprocal laws of nerdom (statute numbers resembling a Lovecraftian symbol more than a Roman numeral). Unlike the Shakers and miscellaneous obsessive holy movements, though, nerds have dedicated the time and logical assessment necessary to assure a legacy . Better than most anyone else with hobbies and interests, nerds can make their passions accessible. And like the schism of any religious sect, survival is at the core. Without a means to secure the future their twelve-sided legacy, modern social fetish, and gateway to solitude, this lifestyle choice would vanished from the Earth's plains long ago.
Anime is no exception. Much like followers of rush Rush fans and the HBO drama du jour, the existence of a casual anime fan has been rumored. Confirmation of this modern marvel, however, has stubbornly remained unverified. Regardless of the distant dedication it inspires, the past-time of watching anime is not really foreign. These series provide an escape. Through the vibrant animation of Dragon Ball Z and Naruto, or Cowboy Bebop's and Samurai Champloo's knack for storytelling, this expressive, animated medium shares commonalities with music. Both aim to captivate their audience's imagination - whether through dance, social movements, or critical writing - and with any luck inspire a few people too.
Aside from the title and associated image, "Fusão Vegeta e Son goku (Fusion of Vegeta and Goku's Being)" has little in common with the its apparent inspiration. This song is not an ode to a staple of early 2000s Cartoon Network. The possibility remains that radiation, from interspace travel no less, is the cause for the song's less than optimal sound quality. Of course this is about as likely as it is it realistic: not very. And so the title of this song deserves as much attention as the clipping: none at all. What proves relevant is its accessibility. The nine second introduction debuts an time-signature bizarre even if it quickly auto-corrects. The most prevalent player in the melody section, steel drums, appear as well. The children featured in a vocal sample serve more as a catalyst for a segue into than a DJ tag. As the ten second mark rolls around the fast 2/4 kuduro beat takes hold. Steel drums no longer bear the brunt of melodic responsibility as a short synth phrase ascends just as quickly as it descends. Listeners are engaged and arrive at the bridge and are greeted by similar sounds of children. The third portion of the song's body provides redemption for its lackluster showcase. With the slightness and subtlety of a master combatant, DenyCox and Puto Wilson gently vary the songs core elements. The accent on the synth has changed and a brief vocal burst highlights the beat's syncopation. By being danceable the song fulfills its genre's promise. What really matters, though, is the clear message it sends. The song's skeleton is bare. Anyone with a serviceable computer and the right program to open can hear all 68 seconds and soon realize anyone that wishes to produce can produce.
